Colourful Valentine Sunset

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Colourful Valentine Sunset

Postby wazonthehill2 on Sun Dec 13, 2009 7:39 am

Well after a week at work that was deplorable to the extent I walked out Thursday so I did not do anything "irrational", I felt that going to the work Christmas party may have been all that ideal either. So I ducked down to the edge of the lake and relaxed and took some sunset.

I like these couple, and I do enjoy this pocket of the world.

Colours!

possibly should crop a touch off the bottom of this one.

I know this is an often done style of shot, but this one just works for me.

#2 is lovely, great colour! I agree that it would benifit from a trim along the bottom o focus the eye on the colour at the top of the image. I think the narrower crop would also frame the boat and wake better.

I hope the next week is better for you. :|
